Equally Wet Pow

Pow 7A Marching StripJohn White3/1/18

Problem statement:

For this pow our task is to find out the amount of tiles a king needs to build a walkway through his courtyard. Although the whole court yard will contain tiles, the diagonal walkway must contain stronger and more durable tiles thus being more resistant to foot traffic wear and tear. So our main goal is to find the number of tiles needed to complete the walkway knowing the courtyard has a size of 63 by 90 ft. 2. Visual representation Rows of tiles - 63Tiles per - 90Total tiles - 5,670Special tiles needed - 324Process:To solve this pow, I created a 63 by 90 square (not in the picture above) and found out how many tiles it would take to stair step their way to the other corner of the court yard. Solution:The amount of special tiles in order to complete the courtyard falls in at about 324 special tiles.Evaluation: I would call this a decent POW. I tried many different methods but couldn't seem to find an absolute answer. With this being said, I would not be surprised if my answer is wrong, it could be unlike my other methods. Self assessment:For this pow I would say I deserve about an A. Although I am not fully confident if I have the correct answer, I do know that I put a lot of work into finding the right method. I tried many different processes to try and find the correct amount of tiles. Therefore, I am advocating for a higher grade. ​

I thought that my independent research project turned out very well. I really liked finding the amount of possibilities you could put into a rubix cube. Overall it turned out to be a good project. The only thing that was difficult when working on my project was finding the possible options there are in a rubix cube due to the complexity of the math involved. In all honesty, I would not change anything about this project, especially because we were able to choose what we did for the project. I would say that overall I learned and improved my multiple step math problem skills.

throughout this year in math, the goals I set were mostly achieved. I would definitely say that I am satisfied with my performance in math this year. Because I was able to learn and understand most of the math we did, I would say that my confidence in math class has definitely risen. I would say that most of the time, I was able to balance math out with my other classes. There were only a few times when math content outdid some of the content I had to do in other classes. All in all, I feel ready and prepared for math 4 next year and am hoping to finish strong.
